Analyze user requirements, Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), and high-level system architectures to develop detailed system requirements specifications.

Lead systems engineering, design, development, and integration activities throughout the system lifecycle.

Collaborate with users and stakeholders to define and refine requirements, evaluate alternative technical approaches, and conduct feasibility studies. Provide technical leadership across the integration of requirements, system design, architecture, and emerging technologies. Develop and maintain system architecture, system design, engineering, and other technical documentation. Support system development and implementation planning, including the development and assessment of Systems Engineering Management Plans (SEMPs), system integration plans, and test plans.

Integrate new capabilities, technologies, and system designs into existing operational environments. Interface directly with Government stakeholders on Systems Engineering technical matters, including requirements, issues, risks,

and technical challenges. Ensure the technical integrity, quality, and completeness of Systems Engineering deliverables and work products. Identify and resolve technical issues and conflicts while coordinating solutions across engineering and program teams. Communicate technical concepts, recommendations, and project status effectively to program personnel, Government stakeholders, senior leadership, and executive audiences.
